Mumm is a exhibitor for IWINETC, but will not be present at the Boston Wine Expo.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Sparkling wines have been on my mind lately. Last fall, Kathy and I attended a media FAM trip to several cava producers in the Pened\u00e9s in Spain. Last weekend, we were on a judging panel evaluating ten Virginia sparkling wines. Kathy and I are already writing articles for this year\u2019s International Wine Tourism Conference that will take place in Reims, France. So I have an interest in noting the champagne houses that may attend the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wine-expos.com\/Content\/Boston-Wine-Expo-2015\" target=\"_blank\">Boston Wine Expo<\/a> on February 14th and 15th, 2015.<\/p>\n<p>Only one champagne house is on the exhibitor list. Champagne Henriot will join other producers from France at the expo. The French delegation has 13 tables of which G\u00e9rard Bertrand has three tables and Languedoc Wines, representing different producers, has three tables. Champagne Henriot will have three champagnes for tasting. Champagne Henriot Brut Souverain is a blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Champagne Henriot Blanc de Blancs is a blend of Chardonnays from different vineyards. Champagne Henriot Brut Ros\u00e9 is made with Pinot Noir. The light pink color is achieved by adding Pinot Noir that was made as a red wine.<\/p>\n<p>My desire for bubbly will not go unabated though. At one of the G\u00e9rard Bertrand tables, two cremants are likely to be poured: Thomas Jefferson Cremant de Limoux brut and Thomas Jefferson Cremant de Limoux rose. One of the Languedoc Wines\u2019 tables will pour Le Berceau Brut AOC Blanquette de Limoux. Tasty Wine Imports will pour two cavas from Birdi\u00e9. Sparkling wine enthusiasts can also taste another cava from Hoya de Cadenas at the Vincente Grandia table. The expo has 38 tables for Italian wines including producers that make prosecco. I\u2019ll make sure I head toward Antonutti, Bartenura, Bortolomiol, LaMarca, Maschio and severall others. There will be much more prosecco at the expo then champagne.<\/p>\n<p>There are also several sparkling wine producers including Bagrationi 1882 from the country Georgia. The Boston Wine Expo will certainly have enough sparkling wines from around the world for me to taste. Since I am traveling to Champagne soon, I wish there were more representation from this great wine region.<\/p>\n<p>Cheers,<br \/>\nTerry<\/p>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\" class=\"owbutton\" src=\"http:\/\/www.onlywire.com\/button\" title=\"Is Champagne Underrepresented at the Boston Wine Expo?\" url=\"http:\/\/winetrailtraveler.com\/blog\/?p=10915\"><\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sparkling wines have been on my mind lately.
